SUMMARY:Learning Assistant (LA) Program Faculty Learning Community - pre-quarter meet-up
DESCRIPTION:The Undergraduate Learning Assistants (LA) Program in the Sciences at UCLA is an evidence-based\, multidisciplinary instructional strategy\, in which undergraduate students who have succeeded in a course receive credit to learn how to help the next group of students succeed in that course. It is specifically geared toward large introductory science\, engineering and math courses.  LAs thus help facilitate active learning and collaborative instruction in discussion\, lab\, and/or lecture. \nIf you have LAs in Fall 2025\, this meet-up is designed to support you in discussing and finalizing any plans for LA implementation. In this shifting landscape\, this feels like a time when it’s particularly important to check in with and support one another. \nIf you don’t yet have LAs and you’re interested in meeting instructors who work with them\, you’re welcome to join and hear how folks are integrating LAs to create more effective courses. \nEmail LA Program Director Shanna Shaked at shaked@ucla.edu if interested in joining.

SUMMARY:Annual Winter BAAE Conversation Series
DESCRIPTION:The CEILS Becoming an Anti-racist Educator (B.A.A.E) Conversations encourages honest and vulnerable dialogue with faculty\, postdocs\, and graduate students around the unpracticed conversations about race and racism. These in-person conversations create space for discussion of one’s own racial identity development\, understanding the implications of our racial identities and other social identities in our academic learning environments (e.g.\, classroom\, clinic/laboratory\, meetings etc.)\, and action planning. Overall\, the goal is to cultivate an environment and practice that celebrates identity and culture while still identifying and working together against inequitable systems. \nThe series will be on the following Tuesdays from 12:30 – 1:30 pm: February 6\, 13\, and 20. We will have light refreshments\, but please feel free to bring your lunch! \nThe topics for each session are as follows. Please visit our website for more information. \n1. Session 1: Exploring Identity\, Privilege\, & Culture \n2. Session 2: Taking Anti-racist Action: Interrupting Microaggressions \n3. Session 3: Taking Anti-racist Action: From Inclusive to Anti-racist pedagogy \nIMPORTANT: Session 1 participation is required to attend either Session 2 or 3.

Please feel free to drop in as your schedule allows. The book club dates are:\n\n\nTuesday\, May 2\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 1-3 | Terasaki Life Sciences 5100\nThursday\, May 11\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 4 & 5 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 19\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 6-8 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 26\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 9 & 10 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\n\n\nTo RSVP for the May book club dates and book talk\, please click here.\n\nWe invite you to use the Discussion Guide as you read the book: DISCUSSION GUIDE | Heather McGhee.\n\nWe look forward to having you join us for this exciting visit.\n\nBest wishes\,\nTracy\n*************************************************\nTracy Johnson\nKeith and Cecilia Terasaki Presidential Endowed Chair\nProfessor\, Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology\nDean\, Life Sciences\, UCLA College\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Heather McGhee\nHeather designs and promotes solutions to inequality in America. Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”. She has shared her opinions\, writing and research in numerous outlets\, including the Washington Post\, New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Politico and National Public Radio. McGhee’s conversation on a C-SPAN program in 2016with a white man who asked for her help to overcome his racial prejudice went viral\, receiving more than 10 million views and sparking wide media coverage that included a New York Times op-ed\, a New Yorker piece and a CNN town hall. Inspring 2018\, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz asked McGhee to advise the company as it designed an anti-bias training for 250\,000 employees in the wake of the unjust arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia store. McGhee wrote a report with recommendations for how Starbucks can apply a racial equity lens to their businesses\, and how other companies both large and small can benefit from doing the same.\n\nMcGhee also played a leadership role in steering the historic Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act\, and was one of the key advocates credited for the adoption of the Volcker Rule.\n\nShe holds a B.A. in American Studies from Yale University and a J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley School of Law\,. McGhee is the chair of the board of Color Of Change\, the nation’s largest online racial justice organization\, and alsoserves on the boards of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund\, the Open Society Foundations’ US Programs and Demos.\n\nFor more information\, please visit www.heathermcghee.com and follow Heather on Twitter: @hmcghee and Instagram and Facebook: @HeatherCMcGhee

SUMMARY:ChatGPT for Programming: Exploring AI as a Potential Equity-Lever for Learning to Code?
DESCRIPTION:Session Information\nDate: Monday\, May 15 \nTime: 12pm – 1:30pm PT \nLocation: Zoom (Register for Zoom link) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Description\nHow can we leverage AI to support authentic learning while also mitigating potential harm to learning?  This is a national conversation happening across higher education\, and the applications vary across disciplines. When it comes to programming\, there is a lot of potential for supporting student learning-​- ​helping students understand why their code might be incorrect\, interpreting and providing documentation on lines of code\, and improving student code by making it more complex or more streamlined depending on the goal​ — just to name a few examples.​ ​L​ive virtual ​1:1 ​support​ via ChatGPT and other similar tools​ is ​now ​available 24-7 and ​accessible to all students\, regardless of their financial means​.​ In this modern age of AI\, how can we best leverage these new and emerging tools to support all students (in particular\, those who may need extra help)? How do we coach students on how to interact with AI responsibly and in a way that deepens their learning (and does not undermine it)? \nPresenters: \nWilliam Stein\, CEO of SageMath and CoCalc.com will present on CoCalc’s AI tool and data collected on how students engage with that tool.  Sharmila Venugopal\,Assistant Adjunct Professor for Integrative Biology and Physiology will the Life Sciences Core will share her experiences piloting activities that ask students to engage with ChatGPT to compare and contrast their debugging skills with the AI generated responses. \n  \nSession facilitated by:  Jess Gregg\, Senior Associate Director for the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences (CEILS).

Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”.

SUMMARY:"A Justice Partnership for Course Innovation" featuring Siobhan Braybrook and the Life Sciences Liberation Team | Ed Talks & Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:In this project\, we are working to imagine and create a more liberated introductory life science classroom. We chose to take a radical path to inclusive course design by engaging in an authentic and meaningful approach we call a Justice Partnership; our team\, Life Sciences Liberation (‘LS Lib’)\, centers and empowers Black womxn-identifying students. Our process is a pedagogical partnership and is grounded in principles of design justice. Come hear about our process and ongoing work! \nPedagogical partnerships: Instructor-student partnerships that draw on student experiential knowledge to challenge institutional norms & practices\, while also helping them navigate such a system (Cook-Sather et al\, 2020). \nDesign justice: an approach to design that centers marginalized communities and aims explicitly to challenge\, rather than reproduce\, structural inequalities (Costanza-Chock\, 2020). \n\n\n\nFollowing the Ed Talks\, we will be having Happy Hour in the Hershey Hall Front Courtyard at 4pm!

SUMMARY:“When disabilities make school harder\, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities
DESCRIPTION:“When disabilities make school harder\, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities  \nTalk Description: High-impact practices are educational experiences\, such as undergraduate research experiences\, that can support undergraduate student retention. This talk will share findings from a recent national survey\, exploring how the extracurricular nature of many high-impact practices may disproportionately prevent STEM students with disabilities from fully benefiting from these experiences. \nEmma Goodwin Bio: After completing her B.S. in Microbiology\, Immunology\, and Molecular Genetics at UCLA\, Emma worked as a non-student teaching assistant in the MIMG Research Immersion Laboratory courses and was introduced to biology education research through CEILs. These experiences led her to pursue her PhD in Biology Education Research at Portland State University\, and she is currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in STEM Education Research at Arizona State University. \nAbout ED Talks @CEILS: Learning Community Meetings: Join us as we explore the latest high quality STEM Education Research studies and how to implement effective and inclusive teaching. We welcome guest speakers from UCLA and other academic institutions to share their research and lead small group discussions with our teaching and learning community. Faculty\, graduate students\, postdocs\, and anyone interested in STEM education research are welcome to participate.

SUMMARY:CONVERSATION SERIES: BECOMING AN ANTI-RACIST EDUCATOR | 3 PART SERIES BEGINS JAN 27th
DESCRIPTION:CONVERSATION SERIES: BECOMING AN ANTI-RACIST EDUCATOR\nThe Winter Quarter dates are January 27\, February 3\, and February 9 from 9:30-11:30 a.m.\nThe CEILS Becoming an Anti-racist Educator Conversation Series reflects and creates space for discussion of one’s own racial identity development and how racial identity and other social identities impact our learning environments. With colleagues\, participants in these discussions will spend intentional time on student-centered\, inclusive and equitable\, and anti-racist action strategies that can be implemented in the classroom and laboratory learning environments to work against the impacts of racism. \nFeedback from a recent participant: \n“Before this series\, I would have been hesitant to interrupt a microaggression – due to not knowing if it was a big deal and feeling uncomfortable. Now I realize it’s important to say something\, even if I’m not sure exactly what to say.” and “I plan to mitigate the impacts of racism in higher ed by including historically underrepresented and minority student voices in the planning process for curriculum” \n*Our upcoming workshops are open to instructors\, faculty\, and teaching postdocs who teach courses in the Life and Physical Sciences.  There will be future offerings for graduate students\, dates TBD.* \nRSVP FOR WINTER QUARTER
